Chargers released QB Kellen Clemens.

At least for the moment, the Bolts are moving forward with Cardale Jones behind Philip Rivers after cutting Clemens and Mike Bercovici. We wouldn't be surprised to see the Chargers sign a veteran free agent like Luke McCown just before or after Week 1. Sep 2 - 4:27 PM

Clemens will return for his third season in San Diego. The 32-year-old attempted just six passes last year as Philip Rivers' backup. He'll hold the clipboard for Rivers again in 2016. Wed, Mar 9, 2016 08:08:00 PM

Chargers agreed to terms with QB Kellen Clemens, formerly of the Rams, on a two-year, $3 million contract.

With Charlie Whitehurst headed to the Titans on a two-year deal, Clemens will replace Checkdown Charlie as Philip Rivers' backup. Clemens was surprisingly serviceable in nine starts in place of Sam Bradford last season, but was still well short of effective. He's a game-manager who can keep teams in games with a strong running game. Clemens is a major upgrade on Whitehurst, who's one of the league's least-effective backups. Thu, Mar 13, 2014 05:14:00 PM

Gordon is reportedly dealing with a "minor" bone bruise in the same knee which required microfracture surgery after his rookie year. That is at least slightly concerning, but neither the player nor his coach appears to be worried. "He’s sore," Anthony Lynn said. "He was sore last week. We’ll monitor him this week, but I’m sure he’ll be fine." As long as he is active, Gordon will be a locked-in RB1 against the Eagles.

Dontrelle Inman (groin) is questionable for Week 2 against the Dolphins.

Inman is set to make his season debut on Sunday after putting in a full week of practice. In a crowded receiving corps featuring Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin, it's doubtful Inman will draw enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration.

Williams is close to returning after a full week of limited practice, He’s running routes at full speed, but still needs to get cleared for team drills. Barring any setbacks, Williams looks in line for an early October return.

Chargers RT Joe Barksdale exited Week 2 against the Dolphins with a left foot injury.

Barksdale was bull-rushed over by Cameron Wake in the fourth quarter and was injured on the play. He was trying to come back in but stood up from the bench and threw his helmet on the ground before heading to the locker room. Veteran Chris Hairston has replaced Barksdale at right tackle.

Hairston tweeted the other day that the "doctor said I had blood clots," so we're assuming that's the issue here. Hairston filled in at right tackle in place of an injured Joe Barksdale in Week 2. L.A.'s line is in rough shape.
